The Golden Bridge was a wonderful sight to see. It was constructed began on January 5, 1933. The Project was more than $35 million which is a lot of money.

Strauss (the chief doing the projects and other stuff) was overseeing day- to-day construction and making some ground contributions. He was a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, he placed a brick from his alma mater's demolished McMicken Hall in the south anchorage before the concrete was poured.

The bridge - opening celebration began on May the 27 of 1937 and lasted for one week. The day before vehicle traffic was allowed 200,000 people crossed by foot and roller skate.

Despite its red appearance, the color of the bridge is officially an orange vermilion called international orange.
Its color was selected by a consulting architect Irving Morrow because it blended well with the natural surroundings yet enhances the bridges visibility in the fog.
